You might say judges had a magnetic attraction to Jesse Martin's science project. That's somewhat ironic, as the Elizabethtown Area High School senior's project dealt with magnetic repulsion. His ...

The new milk frother you are using to prepare your cappuccino is likely using magnetic gears. Magnetic gears transmit rotary motion like mechanical gears but instead of teeth they use magnetic ...

Why is electromagnetic repulsion so infrequently used in applications? As in, using an electromagnet to repel a permanent magnet, rather than to attract a magnet or ferrous material? I was doing some ...

Taking advantage of the force generated by magnetic repulsion, researchers have developed a new technique for measuring the adhesion strength between thin films of materials used in microelectronic ...

Most modern electronic devices rely on tiny, finely-tuned electrical currents to process and store information. These currents dictate how fast our computers run, how regularly our pacemakers tick and ...

Would there be any serious consequences if the human body were subjected to a very strong magnetic field, for example, the magnetic field generated by the Large Hadron Collider? Receive a weekly dose ...

Japanese toy company Takara Tomy is offering a working scale replica of the record-breaking 603 km/h (375 mph) SC Maglev (Superconducting Magnetic levitation) Train. However, all is not what it seems, ...
